What I Didn't Say
Health--I like being healthy. Of course, the older I get the more my body groans. I have at least a half dozen physical maladies that are like gnats. I can live with them, but they're pesky and annoying. The worst, however, is my weight.
I feel great when I can keep my weight down. But to do it, I have to eat like a bird and work out like a fiend. I spend a lot of time in the fitness room of our home owners' association. I have a lot of sweat equity invested into my health. But if I let up just a little the weight goes up and more importantly, the paunch extends further and further.
I'm going to attempt to keep the discipline up and the weight down. But I realize that my physical health is only going to last so long regardless of what I do or don't do. It's my spiritual health that will have the longest lasting effect.
